Byoungho Kim uses metal and media to create sculptures and installations. He graduated from Hongik University College of Fine Arts in 2000 and studied Art Engineering for three years from 2002 as a researcher of the National Research Laboratory Program funded by the South Korean Ministry of Science and ICT before commencing his career as an artist. Kim produces his works with a fully divided and specialized production system that follows a carefully detailed blueprint prepared in advance instead of working with rough sketches, as done traditionally. To him, a work of art is no different from products made by social consensus such as rules and systems.

Kim is also interested in the identity of human individuals torn between systems of the society. As a person living the contemporary age, exposed to contemporary social structures and environments, he follows and takes on both mechanical exquisiteness and deceptively beautiful artforms, thus demonstrating paradoxical criticism.

Kim has presented his works in 10 solo exhibitions, including The Climax (chi-K11 Art Space , Shenyang, China, 2022), Enchantment (Arario Gallery, Shanghai, China, 2018), Invisible Object (SOMA Museum of Art, Seoul, South Korea, 2010), and Two Silences (Gastatelier der Stadt, City of Frankfurt Department for Culture, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2009). He has also participated in more than 100 group exhibitions around the world, including Mediated Memory (Songgwangsa Temple, Suncheon, South Korea, 2016), Jing’an International Sculpture Project (Shanghai, China, 2012), and Korea Eye (Saatchi Gallery, London, UK, 2012). His work is part of the collections at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Gwacheon, South Korea), Amorepacific Museum of Art (Seoul, South Korea), City of Frankfurt Department for Culture (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), Seoul National University Museum of Art, Government Complex Seoul, Panlong Tiandi (Shanghai, China), New World Development (Hong Kong), and Hyundai Motor Company.
